We started to work on Ipregistry.co at the end of the last year for other services we run. After months of work, we are proud to say that more than 60% of the requests we serve are using the high-reliability geolocation dataset we are building. For this purpose, we process, analyze and correlate GB of data daily. As a fallback, we are still using Maxmind and IP2location but we hope to get rid of them near the end of this year.
* What is it for?
A lot of businesses (e.g. Airbnb, Netflix, npmjs, Stripe) rely on IP addresses as a non-intrusive solution to customize content and enrich data for their users: showing prices in users’ local currency, pinpointing location, timezone, company and connection type. You can learn more about use cases on the next link: https://ipregistry.co/use-cases
* Why Ipregistry.co?
Existing solutions are either too slow, too expensive or not complete enough. Even worse, some competitors artificially segment features that cost them no pennies. Ipregistry aims to change this situation.
With Ipregistry you get more geolocation info but also threat information that is essential to detect and prevent fraud. You can even get user agent data. All this in a single request.
* What’s the difference with existing competitors?
- Data is updated multiple times a day for accuracy.
- Ipregistry scales to thousand requests per second.
- Reliability is ensured with multiple points of presence using the Google Cloud infrastructure.
As a summary, you get responses in less time (our API is at least twice faster), more data points (company name, domain, IP type, security field is_cloud_provider). Our client libraries have support for caching. We provide a dashboard to check your usage and edit settings. Last but not least, you pay only for what you use lookup by lookup!
That's a great question. Unlike with traditional payment platforms (Stripe, Paypal, etc.), we pay no fees for transactions made with crypto currencies. As a consequence, we offer 3% more tokens to our customers for the same price!
Our experience was better with Coinbase than Paypal and we think it is as simple as Stripe, even if Stripe may require some work depending on what you want to achieve but their documentation is fantastic!
The worst solution from an integration point of view was Paypal. Their documentation is outdated, their dashboard UX is bad and their client libraries lack maintenance.
The only drawback we noticed while integrating Coinbase Commerce is that there is no testing flow provided. As a solution, we had to create a second account dedicated to testing and use real crypto.
We rely on a set of trusted sources. It includes public ones but also private ones thanks to partnerships we have with a few companies. This enables accurate filtering.
Besides, we know that false positives are an important point to prevent. That's why we update our database continuously.
We understand an API introduces latency that might not be appropriate for some use cases. At this time we do not provide raw access to our database (although that’s something we aim to provide in the medium/long term). In the short term, we are working on a Docker image that you can deploy in your own infrastructure and co-locate with existing services.
